Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.

Diagnose: Mrs. Harris is a 60 year old white woman. She has noticed in recent years that her height has slightly decreased. Rece

Brut [27]

Answer:

Q: Which skeletal system disorder might she be suffering from?

A: Osteoporosis

Q: What techniques could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: Bone mineral density (BMD) test or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

Explanation:

The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to osteoporosis.

A bone mineral density test, also known as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses X-rays to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with medicine right away so that it stops further deterioration of the bones and avoid any future bone fractures. Further, it can be handled by eating a healthy diet and supplements such as vitamins D. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are already fractured, surgical approaches might be necessary.

Alisiya [41]

Hello!

The 4 major earth science fields are:

Geology: It Is the Study of the composition and internal structure of the planet. A Geologist would examine the earthquakes.

Oceanology: It is the Study of the seas and oceans, and everything related to it. An Oceanologist would examine the large waves to shore and the major flooding.

Meteorology: It is the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere of the Earth. A Meteorologist would study the cooler weather.

Astronomy: It is the study of the celestial bodies of the Universe. An astronomer would examine the meteor impact by itself.
